The more things go on, the more afraid I get that Austin is going to fail his cash-in. Seems like they dropped the ball with him.

So pumped for OC vs JD :drose

Can't wait to see the Magic Killer again, such a cool move.

I love Wicked Enchantment but it doesn't really fit Candice as a babyface.

Yeah say what you want about Dexter/Miz, I'm still having fun. Those two are selling the whole thing so well and the crowd is loving it. They should have had a match on Saturday though.

The combination of the 25th anniversary of DX, a post-Extreme Rules bump, and the expectation of Bray Wyatt appearing led to Raw doing by far its best numbers since football season started.

Last night's Raw averaged 1.82 million viewers overall and drew a 0.55 rating in 18-49. As is usual for the bringing back nostalgia acts, it's actually the younger audience not the older audience that increases the most.

The audience was up 14 percent in viewers from last week, but up 37 percent in 18-49 and up 48 percent in 18-34.

Raw finished fifth behind the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL game that did 15.79 million viewers and a 4.65 in 18-49 on ESPN, which is a great rating and makes the Raw number even more impressive. Raw also finished behind the postgame show, the kickoff show, and SportsCenter after the postgame show.

Raw finished fifth behind the same shows in women 18-49, sixth (also behind the NFL Countdown show) in men 18-49, fifth in 18-34, fifth in women 12-34, and fifth in men 12-34. It finished 13th in total viewers behind only NFL and news related shows.

As compared to last year, Raw was up 15 percent in viewers, up 32 percent in 18-49, and up 42 percent in 18-34. If you factor in cable losing homes over the last year, the real ratings percentage increases figured internally by the station would be up 20 percent in viewers, up 40 percent in 18-49, and up 48 percent in 18-34.

Because DX was kept for last, and no live Wyatt stuff was in the first two hours, the third hour drop was less than usual. Women 18-49 dropped seven percent from the first to third hour. Men 18-49 also dropped seven percent. Females 12-34 stayed even and males 12-34 dropped five percent, while people over 50 dropped nine percent.

The three hours were:
  • 8 pm. 1.88 million viewers
  • 9 p.m. 1.89 million viewers
  • 10 p.m. 1.70 million viewers

We need a third brand featuring 2 hours of Sami Sayn.




That's best for business :tripsdead:

That's a strong rating with the football competition, not as big as a drop in the final hour as usual either

Almost 2 mil against MNF(and a big game at that) is strong. Dusting off the relics every now and again pays off. Just don’t become reliant on it.
